Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says the team are "disappointed"
after they were beaten by Real Madrid 3-2 in their Champions League Group D
match at the Bernebeu, Madrid.

"We are disappointed about this because you can lose here because when you meet Real Madrid this can happen," City coach Roberto Mancini said.

"But I think in the first half we didn't play well. Real Madrid played better than us. But the second half we played well, we scored two goals and when you score two goals here you are 2-1, you should pay more attention. We should have had more courage at that time," he added.

Jose Mourinho praised Real Madrid's fighting spirit that had been lacking in recent games and had caused him to question their commitment,.

"For me as a coach, more important than a win is to be proud of my team, whatever the result," Mourinho said.

"I keep saying the same: Real Madrid can lose, Real Madrid can lose matches, Real Madrid can lose matches like tonight. Real Madrid can lose matches fighting like animals until the last minute like they did. Real Madrid cannot lose matches like the match in Getafe, cannot lose matches like the match in Sevilla. So, for me it was important to feel that when they want, they can.

"It was also a very good match for the people that understand football deeply because the game was rich," Mourinho added.

Real are now top of Group D on number of goals scored with Borussia Dortmund, who won 1-0 at home to Ajax, also on three points.
